The new College of Creative Arts (CoCA) building on the Wellington campus uses a post-tensioned timber seismic frame, a concept that Consultant engineer Alistair Cattanach compares to the mechanics of a push-puppet toy.

Their project was run through Open Lab, Massey’s incubator, where emerging designers learn to work on real life projects. They were supervised by digital media lecturer Tanya Marriott.
